For the past 24 hours I have been riding through the San Carlos Apache Reservation. I stopped by the Apache World casino - it was the last place to water for miles. They gave me a complementary iced tea. In Peridot I stopped by a convenience store for more water; some rambunctious teens pulled in and gave an Indian war cry, something you just don't hear in my neighborhood. There are numbered Indian roads crossing my route. I turned up Indian Road 8 to get away from the traffic noise where I planned to set up camp. Just a couple of hundred yards. It turned out that you have to have permit to use that road if you are not a member. But there was no other road for miles, so I sneaked in. I hid behind a Meskite thicket. I photographed my campsite.

I am sorry to add this comment. On Oct 30 on Arizona route 191 northeast of Safford AZ, Jesse was struck and killed by an RV.
ReplyDeleteHe was loving these long bicycle trips and he was very very happy and planning many more.... That is how his family will remember him.
